AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to an electrode sheet for a battery. The electrode sheet has a positive electrode active material with greater particle strength in a second mixture layer at both edges of the sheet. This reduces the reaction with moisture and prevents particles from breaking easily after rolling, improving the battery's lifespan. Additionally, using a high nickel positive electrode material with high energy density further improves the battery's capacity.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional NCM-based lithium composite transition metal oxide was not sufficient in capacity characteristics and thus has a limit in its application.
As the content of nickel increases, the energy density per volume increases, but in the case of a high concentration nickel positive electrode active material, there is a problem that the structural stability and the chemical stability of the active material are low, which again rapidly deteriorates the thermal stability.
However, the conventional technology has the effect of suppressing the precipitation of lithium, but it is not sufficient for improving the lifespan of the battery, and the second positive electrode active material applied to both ends has the nickel content of only 20 to 40%, and thus it is difficult to implement the desired energy density.

first embodiment

[0057]In the electrode sheet according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the second positive electrode mixture layer includes the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material, and the first positive electrode mixture layer may be formed of positive electrode active materials having the same average particle size D50.

[0058]At this time, the average particle size D50 of the positive electrode active material of the first positive electrode mixture layer may be in a range of 9 to 30 μm, preferably 9 to 25 μm, and more preferably 10 to 20 μm. Further, it may be the same as the average particle size of the first positive electrode active material of the second positive electrode mixture layer.

second embodiment

[0059]In the electrode sheet according to a second embodiment of the present invention, the second positive electrode mixture layer may include the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material, and the first positive electrode mixture layer may include a mixture of the first positive electrode active material having a large particle size and the second positive electrode active material having a small particle size as in the second positive electrode mixture layer.

[0060]At this time, in order for the second positive electrode mixture layer to become relatively stronger in rolling than the first positive electrode mixture layer, a ratio (b / a) of a weight (b) of the second positive electrode active material to a weight (a) of the first positive electrode active material in the second positive electrode mixture layer is greater than a ratio (b′ / a′) of a weight (b′) of the second positive electrode active material to a weight (a′) of the fir...

Abstract

In the present invention, a slurry for a second cathode mixture is applied to both edge regions of an electrode sheet holing portion during storage of an electrode sheet having a high content of nickel, wherein the edge regions are vulnerable to moisture penetration and high in rolling reduction ratio and the slurry contains a cathode active material more resistant to rolling than that applied to the center region of the holding portion, whereby the reactivity of nickel and moisture is suppressed as much as possible to improve the lifespan characteristics of the battery.
